Perched dramatically on the cliffs of Sveti Jakov, just a short stroll from Dubrovnik’s UNESCO-protected Old Town, Villa Dubrovnik reopens after a multi-million-euro transformation as the ultimate luxury hotel in Croatia. A proud member of The Leading Hotels of the World, this 56-key masterpiece by Studio Arthur Casas embodies the very best of luxury travel in Croatia, combining contemporary elegance with timeless Adriatic beauty.

With sweeping views over Lokrum Island and the city walls, Villa Dubrovnik is more than a hotel — it is an exclusive Croatian hideaway, a sanctuary where privacy, design, and sophistication set a new benchmark for luxury hotels in Dubrovnik.

An Adriatic Icon, Reimagined

Since its beginnings in 1961 as a retreat for political elites, Villa Dubrovnik has evolved into a landmark of hospitality. Its sleek modernist silhouette, framed by the emerald Adriatic, is now paired with a refined redesign that echoes Dubrovnik itself: ivory stone walls, terracotta accents, polished wood, and hand-glazed ceramics. Every detail celebrates local craftsmanship and heritage, positioning Villa Dubrovnik at the very top of Croatia’s luxury hotel scene.

Rooms, Suites & Private Residences

Each of the 56 rooms, suites, and residences promises uninterrupted views of the Adriatic Sea, Lokrum Island, or Dubrovnik’s Old Town. Minimalist sophistication, bespoke details, and natural light create a serene retreat. Suites such as Romantiko, Beleca and Mirakul honor Dubrovnik’s historic dialect while offering modern indulgence. Curated furniture by Gio Ponti and Paula Lenti enhances the sense of timeless elegance.

A Private Adriatic Paradise

Unlike many luxury hotels in Dubrovnik, Villa Dubrovnik offers direct access to a private beach on the Adriatic Sea. Guests can swim in crystal-clear waters, sunbathe in total seclusion, and enjoy the exclusivity of a hidden cove.

The Villa Spa complements this privilege with an indoor pool, panoramic sundecks, a fitness center, and holistic treatments. It is the perfect wellness retreat for those who want to combine relaxation with private luxury travel to Croatia.
